The foundation embraces and values accountability, integrity, inclusiveness, diversity, collaboration, and passion.
Company History
Aunt Rita’s Foundation was formed in the late 80’s by four individuals whose friends were dying of AIDS and had nowhere to turn. When the federal government stepped in with assistance programs the need for Aunt Rita’s diminished and Aunt Rita’s Foundation went dormant. Then in 2005 Aunt Rita’s was brought back when a number of HIV/AIDS agencies came together and identified the need for additional funds due to declining federal and state support.
